I worked around the clock since friday 25th all the way to sunday morning 1pm. What did I do immediately after work? I pergi straight ke One Utama, pi panggung wayang. Pi TGV, depa kata wayang hangpa tak main..cek ingat cek silap tengok tarikh (unsur unsur suspense...), rupanya main kat GSC. 2.30 punya show habis kecuali row depan and i dont think I nak dongak ke atas tengok screen, manalah tau ternampak apa apa ker kan..., so 4.30pm, finally came and i was glad to see the panggung full.

Review: another great local movie and congrats on all the actors, including that joker from Comedy court who played Mr Leong. It is not easy to make a comedy and "Cuci" just about pulled it off with an "A". It is so malaysian and depict simple life yet unpredictable plot. It reminds us that sometimes, in life, it is not so much about the winning, rather , about the victory. So both thumbs up, middle fingers down.

One thing though, as a constructive critic. You guys have got to be careful with the timing of the subtitles, because, sometimes, it emerges slightly earlier then the verbal, and that may jeopardise the joke...because the whole idea of a joke is to catch the viewer off guard...well done and bravo boys!!!

Sad to say, some of us don't have the luxury of 'cinema', where you can go and watch it 'legally'. The truth is, we might have to buy 'cetak rompak' DVD/VCD.

I try not to do it. MAybe I just have to wait it officially on the shelf so that I can buy it.. kalau tak pun, tunggu 2 tahun lagi, they can show it for free during Hari Raya. Well, kinda extreme measure just not to involve myself into buying pirated DVD/VCD.

Many malay movies directed and produced but I must salute your current movie and your other movies where you combined with your 3 other friends. Great ideas and great acts! Keep up the excellent work and improve your future movies. You got my support, bro! Respect to you bro and your friends!

something very funny+stupid happened to moi' and other half.. we were so excited when we saw melodi and wahid was conveying that cuci is already @ d cinema (it was 2 weeks ago if im not mistaken)..so d next day we went 2 cineleisure..anxiously queuing for our tix. while queing we were checking the screen and both of us were kinda furious..hmm.."eh nape cuci xde ek?".. agaknye show die lambat or we've missed it kot..arini kan weekdays..maybe show x byk kot.."( so bangang of us la kan)... hence we marched down the escalator... suddenly we saw cuci's banner proudly hanged..and it was clearly written "mulai 27 Januari".. we were laughing our bulu ketiaks out ok... maybe we were still lalok while watching melodi and didn't really compute what wahid was saying.. or did he gave d wrong msg.. i wonder....hmm.. tapi now dah puas ati dah tgk..ngee..

i have to pass this one sbb ada erra and umie aida; both actress that i cant stand (for a certain reason). i love the ensemble though - you, hans, awie and ac - you guys ada chemistry since baik punya cilok. maybe next time buleh bergabung tenaga lagi, but do find real actress mcm nur khiriyah ke (not plastics like those 2 actresses that i cant stand.hehe)but hey, everyone's entitled to their own opinion kan?

Bro, I watched this movie as soon as it aired in the Kuching cinema and dude, it rocked. Congrats to Hans and OMG seeing Hans praying and using kain pelikat is so priceless. I loved your character. I ahvent seen u play such a serious character in so long(aside from that TV3 telemovie with Shila Rusly).. well, in Cuci, u really touched my heart.. U played the character of the big bro so well. its a bit disturbing to see Erra n Hans together now but looking past that, the love stories are very sweet too. Awie & Umie cute sgt. I really love it and cant wait for it to be released into vcd, so I can add it to my collection :)

wahhh.. sume puji CUCI.. I watched it last Sunday and I thought it was a terrible movie. No offense bro, but there is a clear distinction between what is watchable and what is not. And CUCI is certainly not. Bad script, cliche' characters (Except for the secretary lady - thats funny), bad acting, the script felt like it was written 5 minutes before the shot and the way u rolled the credits pun tak kena. By the time all the out takes were shown, the credits also finished rolling so the crowd walked out in silence. My gf cursed and swore all the way in the car and SHE was the one who dragged me to the movie. No action for me that night :(

To me the only people who could honestly say they've enjoyed this movie were the ones who haven't had much experience in appreciating entertainment except for the occasional cecupak and senario tv skits. (Which are lame anyway)

1/5

RESEARCH before you (or hans) make the next movie and please get other actors who can actually act. what the hell was wrong with the villain? I almost sympathized him for his terrible acting.

tremologuy... have you been reading the other blog comments. Are these people all stupid. How do you know our stuff is not researched? If its not in your reality, does it mean its not real dude. I agree with some of the things you said the movie admittedly is flawed but your holier than thou attitude just burns me man. Congratulations for being different. And you look damn cool in those headphones dude.

Just coz you don't have a malay kind of sense of humour, doesn't mean the movie sucks. The reason why i feel malaysians are unique is because we comprehend jokes in many forms and languages. I love british humour. Cant get enough of "Black Adder",or stand up comedy of rowan atkinson (yes, our Mr Bean does a great stand up comedy job). I also like chinese humour, in chinese story, although reading subtitles aint the same as understanding the language, albeit that is my loss.I love stand up comedy by afdlin shauki, Jit murad (he does a brilliant stand up comedy, but you need to read up the newspapers before listening to him perform ), harith iskandar and the comedy courts. And I love love love, did i mention love?, the films produce by our local talents including "zombie kampung pisang."

You dont have to be that intelligent to appreciate comedy. Perhaps your so called desperate to be different I'm too smart for local talents attitude may render you title commonly known as "the poor intelligent and lonely guy with the lack of sense of humour". Perhaps that is why "dumb" people are happier and less lonelier than the intelligent people.(according to how you define "intelligent"). Wittiness by the way, is the sign that you are intelligent. Try releasing the pressure you're putting on your medial meningeal arteries, by taking off your headphones when you write your comments the next time around. It'll help allow more oxygen into your grey matter.

Well, I did wish that it was only me who thought that the movie wasn't very good, but a host of my other friends did too. And we've always tried to watch all the good local movies whenever we can. Most people say that my comment was purely based on the fact that I am prejudiced towards Malaysian movies. That is not true. I watch a lot of movies local and overseas (especially Korean, Thai, Japanese, Indonesian) because of my job, and CUCI, a valiant effort as it was, wasn't a watchable movie. Speaking of hollier than thou attitudes, I thought that your character was a tad too preachy in the movie don't you think?

I believe that humor is universal and P. Ramlee movies proved that it is possible to do that. I showed Seniman Bujang Lapok to a Brit friend of mine last year and he still signed off his e-mails using the tag "Kutu Babiii". with three "i's". Therefore, I believe as a moviemaker, Afdlin, you should cater to a wider and universal audience and by this I don't mean the entire world. I mean MALAYSIANS and that includes the Chinese and the Indians. From what I saw the movie hall was packed with only one representative group. Creating an Indian Character who has a Chinese Malay accent wasn't a great help, and he wasn't funny at all. It was quite embarrassing to be honest.

Pah Nor mentioned that I am desperately trying to be different by slating the movie off. My answer to that is that at least I am honest about my opinion (and does not remain anonymous) and YES I am slating the movie off because I didn't get what I paid for. And you're saying that your favorite local movie is "Zombie Kampung Pisang"?? OMFG. I find more comedy in a made in China Halloween decoration. Don't strain YOUR grey matter trying to understand that one.

Miss Camy said that she wishes to watch a movie from me. Well, sorry to disappoint you but I don't make movies, I write songs though. You are certainly invited to slate my songs here and have a ball ----> http://tremologuy.blogspot.com/

I think commenting on my work would be much more productive and constructive instead of talking about my headphones. Which I find very funny and witty! (Perhaps I should talk to Panasonic about being my sponsor - then I could wear it all the time!)

dear tremologuy,try getting laid more often, it's a natural mood elevator. Then you'd probably have a better sense of humour. You don't like "zombie kampung pisang" then that is your opinion,my heart reach out for you, coz i feel sad that you don't find it funny. The whole idea to a comedy, is that, it doesn't have to be intelligent, to make anyone laugh. Researches cannot determine scientifically what makes people laugh. But they know that it has nothing to do with being intelligent or lack of it.

You poor guy, you are limiting your sense of humour. Do something about it, come back to me in 20years time and thank me later. Malay jokes are like our local tempoyak. You've got to kill your mental block,and the mat saleh's attitude of "omfg what's that smell? durian???", overcome the bad smell, to actually appreciate it. Oh, sorry, you find tempoyak too gross for you too eh? Thank you for your honest opinion anyway.

Laughter is the best medicine. If you find a lot of things not funny, then you are loosing out in a lot choice of medication...boo hiphen hoo to you...

Pah Nur said "The whole idea to a comedy, is that, it doesn't have to be intelligent, to make anyone laugh" - that translates to: Cuci is a dumb movie but it made the audience laugh (probably because they are dumb and haven't gotten laid for so long) - well, according to her.

I think Pah Nur is the one who needs to get laid and lighten up. And probably watch Nasib Do Re Mi once more and try to recapture what Malaysian humor is all about. (When Do mentioned that an anak dara lived in the house and Re's bell/drum thing stopped shaking LOL!) The fact that Malaysian comedy has degenerated over the years into the sort that we get nowadays is a testament to the lack of creativity and innovation in the local movie industry.

I think the main gripe I had with the movie was probably the recycling of previous materials from other Afdlin movies: characters, camera angles, dialogues, ACTORS, voice overs etc. Even cinemaonline dubbed is as just another afdlin movie because his trademarks were everywhere.

A movie has to be intelligent. And there's a big difference between a good comedy and a bad one. Scary movie was a good comedy, Epic movie wasn't. One is smart, the other dumb. Cinema criticism is subjective, of course and all are entitled to opinions of their own. But in 20 years time (the amount of years u told me I needed to appreciate this movie, Pah Nur), ask another person next to you whether s/he had heard of a malay movie called CUCI; and most likely the answer would be a resounding no.

Tsk..tsk...tsk...you don't get it do you dude? It's not so much of your opinion. It's how you deliver them. There's a difference between verbalizing your opinion, and being simply condescending. I'm sorry bro. You're just being condescending. Ponder on that before you go to sleep tonite. Or can you sleep at night with all that anger in you? Lighten up dude.. Life's too short to be tight assed. Chronic constipation is not good for health

I think I'll take condescending compared to a celeb ass kisser :) LOL too many in here! suffocatingg! with cheap smell of hypocrissyyyy! get a life Pah Nur - or a husband or sumthin like that - tremologuy
